"No" from our kissable little girl!

Lately Ansley's favorite response to just about any question you ask is just a plain and simple "no!"

Usually when you ask Ansley for a kiss she just simply says "no" and keeps going about her business! When Ansley gets in her lovable moods we all eat it up as much as we can! We were also able to get this on film the other night.

EXCITING ROJAS FAMILY NEWS!!!

This is a photo of our sweet little Ansley taken by Malin the week she was born! My reason for posting this is to see what we have to look forward to once again! We are thrilled to be expecting baby number 4 who is scheduled to arrive around Halloween!

Joe was ready for another one when Ansley was still an infant. We agreed to wait until Ansley turned a year and we would throw caution to the wind and put it in God's hands! Well, this little one was meant to be! We were pregnant on the first try! We truely couldn't feel more blessed! I am 11 weeks and heard a nice strong heartbeat today! We pray for a safe and healthy pregnancy, baby, and delivery!

AJ and Aleigh are thrilled to be a big brother and sister again! AJ keeps saying "I can't believe Ansley is going to be a big sister already!" Well we were pleasantly surprised as well! We figured we would probably be expecting around the time ansley was 18 months, but not this quick! :)

HAPPY EASTER!

We had a wonderful Easter this year! I say that with lots of genuine enthusiasm because I actually was able to enjoy it this year as opposed to last year when I was fighting a high fever in the bed all day due to mastitis!


Saturday we invited Nana, Papa, and Madrina over for pizza and to color easter eggs! Everyone participated and enjoyed coloring and decorating easter eggs! Everyone stayed until around 10:30 p.m. Robin (Madrina) and I still had to do our shopping for Easter dinner, so we left for Wal Mart and didn't leave there until midnight. When I got home my whole family was asleep...including my easter bunny helper, Joe! I had to make Broccoli salad and fill over 50 easter eggs for the easter egg hunt, fill the kids baskets and hide them! Needless to say I didn't get to bed until around 2:30 a.m. The kids came and woke me up around 8 a.m. so they could find their baskets! They were all very excited about the goodies in their Easter Baskets! AJ got "Honey We Shrunk Ourselves" a movie he has been wanting since we went to Disneyworld last December! He has been fascinated with "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" and "Honey I Blew Up The Kid." We have been looking for "Honey We Shrunk Ourselves" for months with no luck! I was able to find it on Amazon for only $8, so we saved it for his basket and he was THRILLED! Aleigh got "Bedtime Stories" and Ansley got "Elmo in Grouchland" :) They all also got books in their baskets. Aleigh loves Fancy Nancy books and AJ is really into Robert Munsch books....their really silly stories!

Around 3p.m. we all finally made it to Madrina's house and enjoyed amazing food (Honey baked ham, deviled eggs....even mexican deviled eggs, potato casserole, green bean casserole, broccoli salad, fresh rolls, chicken stuffed crescent rolls, and baked beans)! We were able to get the kids together for a few seconds (Ansley won't sit still for nothin), and take a few pictures of them in their easter outfits (from Nana)! Then....the fun began!

The kids got silly string from Madrina, so they were having fun attacking everyone with that when Joe broke out the confetti filled eggs! In Joe's family it has always been an Easter tradition to brake confetti eggs over each others heads on Easter! This year Joe really wanted to introduce this tradition to us. He started saving all of the egg shell's by cracking off the top of the egg to dump the egg out, then cleaning and drying out the shells so that we could color them and fill them with confetti for Easter. He started saving the shells back in January, and even collected some his mom had been saving for us when we went to El Paso in February. We had TONS of egg shells to color and fill with confetti! Joe pretty much did all of the work with some help from Aleigh. She enjoyed gluing the tissue paper over the hole on the egg shells! I was the first one to get slammed...by Joe...with confetti egg on my head! WHAT A MESS we made of Madrina's yard and driveway! It was fun though and everyone had a blast!!! We even had a couple of her neighbors and roommate join in on the fun!!! Oh and the reason there are no pictures of me getting slammed w/ confetti eggs is because those were taken w/ my mom's camera...I don't have copies of those yet.Aleigh was smart and ready to go this year when they started to hunt for eggs (we fill a lot of them with quarters and a few with dollar bills, the rest with candy), she gave AJ some serious competition this year! We had a blast watching them!
